HiT Entertainment is a British-American children's television company established in 1982 originally as the international distribution arm of Jim Henson Productions called "Henson International Television" (later reincorporated as "HiT Communications plc."). However, following the death of Jim Henson in 1990, the business was sold to several members of the company's management, led by Peter Orton, and reincorporated to its current name to prevent any future confusion between the two companies. Today, HiT Entertainment is owned by Mattel, Inc. | HiT Entertainment is a British-American children's television company established in 1982 originally as the international distribution arm of Jim Henson Productions called "Henson International Television" (later reincorporated as "HiT Communications plc.").

'''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|gray|gray}} marble-like background, a {{Font color|silver|silver}} disc rotates into place. Then four {{Font color|blue|blue}} lasers strike it from different directions. Then, the camera pans to an aerial view as the word "{{font color|silver|'''HiT'''}}", in a tall silver font, zooms out from the center from an angle, then rotates to face the viewers. As it does so, the four lasers rotate clockwise and "<span style="font-family: 'Impact';">{{font color|skyblue|COMMUNICATIONS PLC}}</span>" types itself in, in {{Font color|blue|blue}}. | '''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|gray|gray}} marble-like background, a {{Font color|silver|silver}} disc rotates into place.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, the bluish-grey letters of "'''HiT'''" fly outwards to the center to form a result similar to the previous logo, but with thinner letters and no dot. Below it all is "Distributed by HIT Entertainment PLC." in white, sometimes replaced with a black bar and the text changed to match the country's language. | '''Logo:''' On a black background, the bluish-grey letters of "'''HiT'''" fly outwards to the center to form a result similar to the previous logo, but with thinner letters and no dot.
